Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore) has pulled his support from a House amendment that was meant to strengthen protections.
Shifty Schiff up to his old tricks.
“Hopefully everyone will wake up and defend the Constitution,” he told The Hill. “It’s time for the House to protect one of Americans’ most basic freedoms—the right to privacy.”

Even worse is Adam Schiff is writing the amendment LOL ...
Principled Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore) has said he cannot support it.
Praying for a VETO.
Veto it! Beto it! Kill it! Salt the ground with it!
Hire some hookers to pee on it!
I think it’s very likely he will veto it.
That tweet tells the story.
Excellent! Tweeto it!!!
If he Kills it I will be seriously impressed! :)
Shouldn’t even be a question.
The internal watchdog review did not find evidence that agents were motivated by bias in their decisions to open investigations into Trump campaign associates
Just wow
Question is does Congress have the votes to override the veto? It appears they have the votes in the Senate. The House may be a different matter.
[“I hope all Republican House Members vote NO on FISA until such time as our Country is able to determine how and why the greatest political, criminal, and subversive scandal in USA history took place!” Trump tweeted, referring to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).]
I agree Mr. President. It was weaponized by the Democrats for a political coup d’etat against the Presidency of the United States of America.
Not in the House but don’t think for one minute that the Deep State couldn’t round up the votes if need be...
Not sure though if the Democrats are that dumb to override a veto. Aren’t they supposed to support civil liberties (ACLU)? Only Sen. Ron Wyden seems to have any principles.
He needs to veto this freedom killer.
Veto it, tear it in half, and send it back to Nancy Pelosi.
The Dems can’t override a veto without help from the Reps who provide cover. They will cite national security and Deep State officials who will attest how essential this is to our national security.
Yes. No accountability, no bill.
Besides a veto of the bill Trump should demand all current FISA court members who were serving during its recent failures resign their FISA positions.
Also, Roberts should assign to the court no one who has been on the court before. An “old boys club” is not what the FISA court should ever be.
He should tell Americans he is considering vetoing the bill due to its unlawful use in a Presidential campaign, his Presidential campaign.
He should add, since no one is bothered by that last statement on the left, then I will sign the bill, so I can use it to enhance my Presidential election chances. It seems perfectly fine to the left to spy on their opponents Presidential campaign, think I will use it too, Yes its an advantage, too bad should have thought about that 4 years ago.
Leftists thrive on a surveillance state. End the Patriot Act too. Instead of surveilling the citizens, control who comes into our country.
